Default Internet Services

Moving to The Villages soon, can you please tell me what internet services are available besides Comcast? We will be in Oleander Villges. Trying to avoid Comcast if possible. Thanks for your help!

Many. CenturyLink, Spectrum, xFinity, T-Mobile, etc.

We have xFinity (Comcast) and consider it to be more than adequate for our needs (3 TVs, 1 desktop, 2 tablets). We've had exactly two outages in two years and those were only for a matter of a couple of hours each. Tech. service is prompt and efficient though a bit pricey.

Your options are the cable company or the phone company in your area (which will probably have slower speeds than the cable company), and 5G internet from T-Mobile or Verizon if available in your area check their websites.

Check with your sales agent, they should be able to tell you who services that area.

Somehow the Spectrums and Comcasts of the world are allowed to carve up the market.

We have had Xfinity (part of comcast) for the 2 1/2 years we are here and service as been fine with only a few disruptions
